Forty thought provoking features from Yorkshire - a must for expats
and fans of the Broad Acres alike.
This work includes international secondary literature on
anti-Semitism published throughout the world, from the earliest
times to the present. It lists books, dissertations, and articles
from periodicals and collections from a diverse range of
disciplines. Written accounts are included among the recorded
titles, as are manifestations of anti-Semitism in the visual arts
(e.g. painting, caricatures or film), action taken against Jews and
Judaism by discriminating judiciaries, pogroms, massacres and the
systematic extermination during the Nazi period. The bibliography
also covers works dealing with philo-Semitism or Jewish reactions
to anti-Semitism and Jewish self-hate. An informative abstract in
English is provided for each entry, and Hebrew titles are provided
with English translations.
Much of what is known about teaching second language writing today
has been based on research in English as a second language, writing
in English in English-dominant countries and other contexts,
without giving close consideration to the important work of
teaching foreign language writing in many languages and contexts
around the world. FOREIGN LANGUAGE WRITING INSTRUCTION: PRINCIPLES
AND PRACTICES takes a significant step in addressing this imbalance
by examining many of the topics that influence foreign language
teaching. Fourteen chapters researched and authored by scholars
working in nine different countries and regions explore the
contexts of foreign language writing pedagogy, the diversity of
national and regional approaches, the role of universities,
departments, and programs in pedagogy, and the cognitive and
classroom dimensions of teaching and learning. This volume provides
a cross-section of the current status of foreign language writing
instruction, while developing a fuller appreciation for the
broadened perspectives that it can bring to second language
writing. Both teachers and researchers in foreign language writing
will benefit greatly from this collection. - SECOND LANGUAGE

This complete collection of Francis Bacon's essays is superbly
presented and meticulously faithful to the original publication. An
intellectual possessed of a staggering breadth of knowledge and
learning, Francis Bacon wrote many essays on a range of topics.
Subjects such as married life, child rearing, the sins of envy and
vainglory, and the virtues of friendship, love and good counsel are
all thoughtfully expounded upon and detailed in these essays.
Cautionary writings on the subjects of anger and revenge are also
present; Bacon notably makes an impassioned plea for true justice,
noting that the quality of mercy is a far higher virtue than the
'wild justice' born of angry revenge. Reflecting the early colonial
times in which Francis Bacon lived, we also witness essays upon the
subjects of travel, Empire, ambition and commerce. Well-traveled
and curious about distant lands, it is also with experience that
Bacon imbues color and depth to his essays.

This dissertation consists of a philological and philosophical
exploration of the Guiguzi . It establishes the sinological
background of the text through a detailed contextual study and
locates Master Guigu in the Chinese intellectual tradition. Guiguzi
is the legendary transmitter of the Sunzi bingfa ("Art of War")
tradition, said to have bestowed his text upon Sun Bin. The
research reveals that the Book of Master Guigu conceives a
comprehensive "art of persuasion" by promoting an unassuaging
efficacy within an early Daoist cosmological framework. [Hardcover

With its vast population and resources, China has far more
potential to become a major world power than any other Third World
nation. How, then, can it be grouped with the underdeveloped
countries of the world? In this original study by outstanding Asian
scholars, China's Third World identification is explored in
relations to its domestic policies, ideology, strategic and
economic imperatives, and positioning in world affairs.
In Regional Interest Magazines of the United States, Sam G.
Riley and Gary W. Selnow focus on those magazines that direct their
attention to a particular city or region and reach a fairly general
readership intersted in entertainment and information. This work is
a follow-up to their earlier Index to "City and Regional Magazines
of the United States." Titles are arranged alphabetically to
facilitate access; each entry includes a historical essay on the
magazine's founding, development, editorial policies, and content.
Entries also include two sections that provide data on information
sources and publication history, arranged in tabular form for ready
reference.
In choosing the magazines to be profiled, Riley and Selnow
attempted to represent not only the biggest and most successful of
this genre, but also some smaller and newer titles, plus
significant earlier magazines that are no longer in print. Special
care was also taken to achieve an even geographical spread. To
attain greater accuracy, regional writers were enlisted to do the
entries on their own region. These writers provide valuable
information on how the various magazines began, how conditions have
caused them to change, their problems, their editors and
publishers, and their content as well as colorful and little known
facts of their operation. Magazines were arranged alphabetically,
and two informative appendices list the profiled titles by founding
date and geographic location. This volume will be a valuable
resource for students of magazine publishing history.
Cover title: Practical aspects of modern HPLC.
This first volume in the Harvard Semitic Monographs series
challenges many of the standard positions that have long been held
concerning the Greek and Hebrew texts of the Books of Kings. The
author's personal examination of the Qumran Hebrew manuscripts,
published and unpublished, has led to a new understanding of the
recensional development of the Greek text. His study contributes
significantly to the methodology of modern textual criticism and
the evaluation of historical sources in the Old Testament.
Examining the parallel development of the Greek text and the
Hebrew, the author attributes the chronological discrepancy between
the oldest Greek text forms and the Masoretic text to a change from
the chronological system found in the Hebrew "Vorlagen" of the Old
Greek and proto-Lucian texts to the newer system of the Masoretic
text. The greatest difference between the two systems is found in
the period from Omri to Jehu, where the pattern of regional
formulae is worked into the narratives concerning Elijah and
Elisha. The author concludes that the reason for the change to the
newer Masoretic system was the desire to be able, from a
chronological viewpoint, to identify Jehoshaphat as the King of
Judah in the narrative of the Moabite campaign, an identification
that was not possible in the older Greek chronology.
